ships. The bequests above mentioned are not required 
to be accumulated, but it is the purpose of the Board to 
allow these sums to increase until each one will earn a 
substantial annual interest, at which time it will be sep- 
arately invested as a permanent fund bearing the name 
of the donor, and the interest used in the Society's ser- 
vice to the public. There are three other permanent 
funds, to-wit: 

The McMillan Memorial Fund $5,000 

The Publication Fund 1,000 

The Bixby Book Fund 1,000 



It has not been possible to keep a record of the visitors 
to the Historical Society, but the number for the last 
year is estimated at two hundred and forty thousand. 
The number of visitors from out of town who spend from 
a few days to several weeks working in the library in- 
creases each year. 



For purposes of comparison, the financial statement 
of the Western Reserve Historical Society of Cleveland 
is subjoined. That society, like this, is without support 
from the public funds; it is about the same age, having 
been established in 1867; and has its home in a city of 
less population than St. Louis.

SUGGESTIONS 



Suggestions to all who are interested in the work 
of the Missouri Historical Society : 

If you are not a member, become one. If yon are a 
member, then bring in some of your friends. Use the 
inclosed blank applications. 

The Society has a good historical library, containing 
books relating to the history of all the States. It has 
probably the best collection of books, manuscripts, news- 
papers and i^amphlets relating to Missouri and ^lissour- 
ians that has yet been made. Its genealogical section is 
extensive but inadequate. It also has a museum and 
portrait gallery of great interest. But, both the library 
and museum need to be kept up to date. 

The endowment of the Society should be increased to 
at least $100,000. 

The Society should have a publication fund of at least 
$25,000, the income to be used for printing. A His- 
torical Society without publications is like a man with- 
out a voice. And there are numerous other purposes 
for which the Society ought to have special funds. 
Among others, there should be an archaeological fund, 
a manuscript fund and a binding fund. 

If you give now you can have the pleasure of seeing 
the good results. But if you do not wish to give now, 
won't you incorporate in 3^our will the provision: 

"I give, devise and bequeath to the Missouri Histori- 
cal Society in St. Louis the sum of dollars." 

Do not feel that because you do not wish to give a 
large amount that you will give nothing. Help to make 
such bequests a habit among ]\Iissourians. If you have 
a hobby in the line of the Society's service, specify that 
it is your preference that your gift or the income from 
it be used for work along that line.
